SOUTH CAROLINA HELPS FUND THE TRAINING NEEDS OF SC BUSINESSES THROUGH THREE MAJOR WORKFORCE TRAINING OPTIONS.

READYSC

As an integral part of the SC Technical College System, the readySC program works to provide qualifying companies with a pre-trained and productive workforce from the first day of operations.

This state-funded program offers recruitment, assessment, training development, management and implementation services to companies who are creating new jobs with competitive wages and benefits.

Each training program is customized to meet company standards. Almost without exception, readySC is provided at little or no cost to the company.
